Kim Kardashian’s Tribute to Ariana Grande and the Manchester Attack Victims Has Her Slammed for ‘Bad Taste’

Kim Kardashian has been attacked on social media for the tribute to those affected by the Manchester bombing and to Ariana Grande.

The attack claimed 22 lives and left more than 119 people injured. The bomb was detonated by a suicide bomber at the end of Arian’s concert at the Arena. Many celebrities have since spoken about the tragedy.

The mother of two joined the bandwagon, sending their thoughts by Tweeting:

I can’t imagine the fear and agony these parents must be going through searching for their kids 💔

She, however, caused offense by posting a throwback photo of herself in a crowd together with Ariana and Kendall Jenner:

Alongside the picture, she wrote, ‘you are supposed to let loose & have fun in concerts. So scary not to feel safe. @arianagrande I love you.’

She soon faced criticism for her image choice. Many social media users accused her of being insensitive. She, in posting that, mad it all about herself. In the photo, she was at the center and Ariana is at the side facing the opposite direction.

‘We’ll never forget when you posted an inappropriate pic making #Manchesterbombing all about you. (screenshots are forever),’ said one Twitter user.

‘Isn’t that a new low…?’ wrote another and on and on it went.

She soon deleted the post from Twitter and Instagram but it still remains on her Facebook page alongside the angry comments.

‘This picture is unsuitable regarding the tragedy in Manchester – bad taste and crass – Ariana maybe in it but that is not what the victims and their families want to see’ wrote a user.

Another one added: ‘Insincere, irrelevant and ridiculous! How does a picture you obviously posed for in a night club fit into the events of today? It is not about Ariana, star as she may be. People died. Others are suffering. You never fail to disappoint. Vacuous sole.’

There are those who defended Kim though and who insist that she meant well even if that is not how it came off. One fan commented and said: ‘Won’t write a long speech but I’m from Manchester and I think this comment is kind and sent from the heart. We don’t need arguments in this horrific and tragic time.’

Kim is not the only member of the family who spoke about the tragedy – her sisters and her mom also paid tribute.
